App developers need to add Dark Mode functionality to their apps, so you might not see this design option in your favorite third-party apps. The recurring theme of macOS Mojave seems to be, 'This was great in iOS, let's bring it to the Mac.'Īpple's version of Dark Mode, though, comes with some significant caveats. For those who need an extra reminder that time's passing - I remember when I worked in an office without natural light - this could be a boon. On top of that, you can opt for what Apple calls a Dynamic Desktop background, where its images will change from warm to cold as the day progresses. Not only do coders use dark-mode based text editors to avoid getting blasted by bright white light, but every mobile app from Twitter to Fantastical to YouTube has started to offer a nighttime inspired interface. While I've appreciated the bright, lively tones that macOS offered in previous years, Dark Mode - which takes the whiter, beige parts of the interface and turns them into darker hues - is in vogue today. Worth It: Probably the best new trick Apple added to macOS, especially if you're tired of emailing (or Airdropping) yourself photos. Furthermore, I'd love to integrate them into our company Slack when I'm at events and into Photoshop projects I'm working on. I hope this technology can reach more third-party apps soon, though, as I can already use it to drop photos into the Bear text editor.

As someone who recently had to use a fax machine to scan important documents, I am kicking myself thinking about how much time I could have saved had I been using the Mojave beta.
